Read on! πŸ‘‡β£ ⁣ We had the opportunity to try @osmows 's Chicken Shawarma Wrap and Chicken Shawarma On The Rocks a few days ago. And what blew my mind was the generous potion sizes. Absolute VFM! I also love the fact that you can completely customise what goes inside your shawarma including the spice levels. Even Kawhi Leonard approves!⁣ ⁣ What warmed my heart is that the Osmows chain is an immigrant success story.

Today is World Mental Health Day. ⁣⚑✨ ⁣ It Today is World Mental Health Day. ⁣⚑✨ ⁣ It is important we #TalkToday about mental illness just as easily we would speak up about physical illnesses. Here's my story - ⁣ ⁣ Life as a new immigrant comes with it's fair share of trials. Moving across continents with just two suitcases leaving behind my family, friends and life as I knew it was the toughest thing I've done. The first few months were filled with feelings of loneliness and extreme anxiety. I was constantly second guessing my decision, stressed about my finances and missing my loved ones back home. My mental health was in a state of turmoil.⁣ ⁣ It is then I realised how important it it to talk about it. I also realised there are so many fellow immigrants out there who are experiencing the same struggles and that I am not alone. Having a support system helped me immensely and I feel so much more settled now that time has passed. It is okay to feel stressed, lonely and anxious. It is okay to speak up about it and to seek help. It is okay to not feel okay. ⁣ ⁣ #peerokay #okaymovement2020

Comfort and happiness in every bite. ⁣ ⁣ If you had to customise a cookie, what would you come up with?
